 MIDI users BEWARE!!!, 2003-10-15
I have a Mac G3 which currently runs in OS 8.6. When I bought my copy of Jaguar at Fry's I was told by the salesman that OS 9 was included. What a pack of lies! OS 9 is NOT included in Jaguar!
Now I have to buy OS 9 to run in the "Classic" environment because my notation program (Finale) still hasn't come out in a native OS X version! The only hope I have been offered is to spend another $120 to get Panther so I can order a 9.2 cd ($19.95) from Apple under their Fufillment program. I know a number of Midi sequencers have updated to OS X, but anyone who runs legacy apps or equipment on their Mac will be bitterly disappointed...

 Wait for Panther, 2003-10-02
Thought Jaguar is a great update from 10.1, it would be a much better move to wait for Panther which I'm told will be released on October 24. I will include all updated included in 10.2, but you get faster previewing, user switching, and espose. You can see all the updates at apple.com. I have a developers gold copy, and it is really sweet.

Significant Disappointment, 2003-09-30
I can't begin to express my disappointment with Mac OS X. I recently upgraded my beige tower to OS X and now need to downgrade to 9.0 to make it work. There are three main problems. First, OS X disables the printer port so you have to buy a new printer in order to print. Second, it disables the floppy drive; it only allows for CD drives or zip drives. Finally, although my system exceeded the minimum requirements, it is very s-l-o-w. For instance, Netscape takes 30 seconds to open a new message window. I strongly recommend against upgrading to OS X. If you have a new computer, it might work, but for an old one stay with the tried and true. My next computer will use Windows; I am disgusted with the Mac.

 Well Worth It, 2003-09-30
Though I experianced serious problems during the install that forced me to reinstall twice I believe this was because my current version of 10.1.5 was in bad shape. However, since the install I have experianced few problems, though it took me several days to download all the software updates. Virtually all problems I experianced in 10.1.5 have vanished, my isub no longer causes a kernal panic, and Internet Explorer no longer crashes after being launched. I have also found the Safari, Apple's new internet brower is far more stable and faster than Internet Explorer ever was. One of the main reasons I upgraded however was because so many programs required a minimal of 10.2, since then a wealth of new programs have been made availible to me. Jaguar was definitly worth the upgrade, anybody running an older version of Mac OS X should upgrade.

Mac OS X A Giant Step Ahead of Classic Mac OS, 2003-09-05
Have been using for months now. Have had only one Kernel Panic(Crash). Panther seems to be a lot more responsive than earlier versions of OS X. Still I really can't say it is better than Windows XP because on my four Windows machines I have yet to see a crash in the almost two years I have been using Win XP. For that reason I am giving Panther four rather than five stars.
